Story - screenplay - direction: The basic storyline of this film resembles the story of Murder by Numbers (2002). The thread of two brilliant students committing serial killings and two cops chasing them is lifted from Murder by Numbers. Screenplay of the film is pretty good. The director has gone into the finer details of the film while making it. The direction of the film is stylish and there is brilliance in shot-making. He followed Mani Ratnam's pattern while writing the romance thread for Kamal and Jyothika. 
Other departments: Music is nice and picturization is good. Cinematography by Ravi Varman is excellent. Editing by Anthony deserves a special mention. The way he uses diffusion and color transition in the first
Analysis: The first half of the film is very good. The second half drags a bit because there is not much of story remains once the identity of killers is revealed. Director handled the romance in the film in a matured way. There is no problem of Tamil nativity in this film because the subject is typical Hollywood cop thriller type. The major plus points of the film are director's taking and Kamal Hassan. On the flipside, the serial killing concept of the film might become too serious for a general entertainment seeker. On a whole, Raghavan is a decent film which you can watch at leisure. Box office wise, the film has potential to do well in A centers. 
Screen Talk: Sneha's Bold Exposing Decision!
Sneha has been the darling of many family audiences. She hardly exposed on screen inappropriately. Still, she could bag some good films and make a stand for herself in filmdom. But the competition of glam dolls is hitting her career graph. Looking at that she is now liberalizing her costumes and concealing aspects. Kollywood sources say that she will be showing herself hot on screen from now onwards and she is also going for skin whitening therapy.
Did you remember? Soundarya was very conservative initially. But with the film 'Narasimha' she started showing her navel beauty. Although she was ever conservative through out her career, she never missed showing herself with sex appeal.
Now Sneha also must be planning for that.

Dream Role:
I wish to act in a role that brings me national fame. I feel like doing roles those are different from one another. I don't want to do same kind of roles in two films.
